FW:A couple of cups of coffee with a friend

I just thought I would share this little story with you. It helps
put life in perspective.

When things in your life seem almost too much to
handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough,
remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of
coffee...

A professor stood before his philosophy class and
had some items in front of him. When the class
began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and
empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with
golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar
was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and
poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the
golf balls. He then asked the students again if the
jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and
poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled
up everything else. He asked once more if the jar
was full. The students responded with an unanimous
"yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee
from under the table and poured the entire contents
into the jar effectively filling the empty space
between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor as the laughter
subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar
represents your life. The golf balls are the
important things--- your family, your health, your
friends and your favorite passions---and if
everything else was lost and only they remained ,
your life would still be full.




The pebbles are the other things that matter like
your job, your house and your car.

The sand is everything else---the small stuff. "If
you put the sand into the jar first," he continued,
" there is no room for the pebbles or the golf
balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your
time and energy on the small stuff you will never
have room for the things that are important to you.

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to
your happiness. Play with your children. Spend time
with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take
time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out
to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be
time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take
care of the golf balls first---the things that
really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just
sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired
what the coffee represented. The professor smiled.
"I'm glad! you asked.

It just goes to show you that no matter how full
your life may seem, there's always room for a couple
of cups of coffee with a friend."

FW:Are any of us guilty of this?

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make £100 an hour."

"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow £50?"

The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money! After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that £50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.

"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.

"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,"said the man.

"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the £50 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.

"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.

"Daddy, I have £100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
